Infrastructure

Infrastructure refers to the fundamental facilities and systems that support the functioning of a society or organization. This includes the physical structures such as roads, bridges, buildings, water supply systems, sewage systems, electrical grids, and telecommunications networks. Infrastructure serves as the backbone for economic activity and is crucial for the transportation of goods and services, communication, and overall quality of life for residents. It encompasses both the tangible elements, like highways and public transit systems, as well as the intangible aspects, such as regulatory frameworks and services. Well-developed infrastructure is essential for promoting trade, facilitating access to resources and services, and enabling social and economic development. It can be categorized into various types, including transportation infrastructure, utilities infrastructure, and social infrastructure, each playing a distinct role in supporting societal functions.
